Yes dear Marty, I am.

I am doing Copyediting at UC San Diego Extension (online program). There are four courses in the certificate program, and the first is Grammar Lab.
I just this second (well, a few minutes ago) finished my final exam.

I have loved every minute of the class, although there was a TON of work. And it was hard. Big time.
Going on to do Copyediting I in a few weeks, and Copyediting AP-style as well. I am dong every elective they offer.

Cool! Thanks, Suze! Are you going to be doing work online as a freelancer, or do you have a regular job lined up? I have no idea how any of this works, LOL!

Way too early for a job, but I will get one.
I do not care how I start, as long as I start and then build up a portfolio.

In for a sober St Patrick's Day weekend!

Thanks Mags!

What a positive start to the thread!

Congratulations on shotgun Free!

Good to see you freedomfries/LoveHateWine!

Thanks for that song Robbie, I have not heard it for ages and I didn't know what Len Barry looked like.

Good luck with your exam Venuscat!

Forwards, that's great news on your future move. We'll done.

biminiblue posted an amazing St Patrick's Day related video elsewhere on SR. It deserves a play here too bim.

Just spoke to another recruiter from M. I am going to be phone interviewed again, this time for a different group. Excited, another door opens up!

This time I must focus on Technical Project walk thru and system design. Will work on these starting tomorrow. The recruiter is also planning to set up a prep call to increase my chances of success! All in all something positive for today.

Thanks Mags

hi everyone

I’m in for a sober weekend. Currently have a belly full of tea
Much better than a belly full of booze.
No dreadful hangover and raging insatiable thirst for more booze.

Well done finishing your final exam in the Grammar Lab course Suze!

I would absolutely LOVE to go to London for the weekend!
Have fun dear Reid. ❤️

I haven't hit submit on my exam yet: I am dead nervous.
